TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

cheers
the small hood on my current jacket is driving me nuts.
seems to be a lot of praise for the xt superfly from various people on this forum...
i think the trojan is a new lightweight model so a bit unknown... the mohawk looks like its somewhere in between, 100gm lighter than the superfly but with stretch panels.

I have the Montane Air, which is even lighter, and I like it for that. It fits in the provided small pouch, perfect to put it in a daypack. Nevertheless, the surface fabric doesn't stand scratches on pointy rocks and such (but I'm not sure the xt superfly would either ?), but it's fine for tough scrub or grabbing branches. I'd wait for some sales though, maybe the next one on mainpeak, the best price I can find is 400 $ on campsaver : http://www.campsaver.com/superfly-xt-jacket-men-s and it's for a XXL... normal price seems to be 500 $ on amazon US.
[edit] I've just seen the Montane Air for 130 £ that's a really good price : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Montane-Mens-Ai ... 023&sr=8-1 , medium or large.

I have the superfly xt, happy with it so far, Havent used it in real anger yet. Like the build quality. Too many pockets, could have got away with one set less.
